Â As I post this from my apartment in New York City the thermometer says 10F/-12C outside and all I can think of is the perfect weather of the Roman afternoons I spent this Summer. Even the shadow of a palm tree warms me up. I shot this just steps from Piazza di Spagna and just a few more steps from the literalÂ Maison Valentino.

Last night marked the opening of the third installment of The Iconoclasts.Â This edition, in whichÂ the identity of a Prada store is taken over by one of cinema’s most acclaimed costume designers, was conceptualized byÂ Michael Wilkinson + Tim Martin. Describing their vision for the store, the costume designer and architect explained,

“Miuccia Prada’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection inspired us to imagine a party to end all parties. The end of Disco. An after party for New York’s most elite, the most avant-garde, a place where people strut and swagger, uptown meets downtown, celebrity meets street style. Each character is an individual, each is a non-conformist, each parties like it’s 1979. No one wants to leave, because, if they do, the fantasy will vanish.”

The IconoclastsÂ in-store installment is currently on exhibit through February 19th, so, if you’re in New York, make sure to stop by.
